Today the Ngunguru School Year 3 and four children visited and spent their day at "The Ngunguru School Wetland Classroom". This is the wetland at our place in Old Mill Ln, Ngunguru. There were 58 children plus parents and teachers. There were five stations that the children rotated round. Ther stations were: Wetland plants and water quality, Wetland birds, Migratory fish and life in the wetlands, Exploring the kauri forest structure and Te Ao Maori in wetlands.
We were also blessed with the arrival of an Australasian Bittern. It is one of New zealands rarest birds and everyoane got to see it.
Further more as a result of fish trapping with the Gee Minnows traps a new species of fish was discovered. It ia a Gobi and new to New Zealand.
